Shaded for protection from the sun and featuring a soft wet-deck surface,
the 1,500-square-foot Nemo’s Reef is a place for children to cool off and
play among colorful, interactive figures that move and spray water. Children
will delight as they splash alongside Nemo swimming in a sea anemone, glide
down a pint-sized water slide shaped like Mr. Ray and frolic near Pearl the
octopus who “inks” herself with a mist of water. Kids can even get soaked in
a water curtain that undulates back and forth like the EAC (East Australian
Current).
Nemo’s Reef is surrounded by a glass enclosure, with a main guest entrance
and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Donald's Pool

A place for families to gather and enjoy all of the
activities up on deck. Overlooking Donald Pool is the giant Funnel Vision
LED screen – more than 30 feet wide and 18 feet high – showing Disney films
and other live broadcast events. A retractable floor extends over the pool,
providing an ideal dance floor for deck parties.

Goofy’s Sports Deck

On Goofy’s Sports Deck, the magic tees off on deck 13 with Goofy’s Golf – a
miniature golf course where “lessons” featuring Goofy and his son, Max, lead
guests through nine themed holes of wacky fun.

Each hole offers special golf
instructions – with a goofy twist. Lessons include:
• “Handling a dog leg” – Guests avoid a fire hydrant and use Pluto’s dog
bone to guide them to the hole.
• “Stuck in the rough” – Goofy shows golfers how to avoid the tall turf and
steer clear of a lawn mower.
• “Reading the green” – Stacks of books and a large magnifying glass are
obstacles to circumvent on this undulating green.
• “Attacking the green” – Yo ho, yo ho! Golfers and landlubbers take a
swashbuckling approach to sinking their putt on this pirate-themed hole.

Guests can choose to use the Goofy or Max tee on each hole, offering
twice the fun. Family-friendly competitions and tournaments will keep the
excitement on par while quirky golf clubs, some crooked and bent, will
challenge golfers to stay on course. Goofy and Max may even swing by to
interact with guests and offer some tips on club selection, stance or just
goofing around.

Also on Goofy’s Sports Deck, two digital sports simulators provide a variety
of virtual game experiences such as soccer, tennis, basketball, golf and
more. With the simulators, guests can kick, swing and throw, participating
in favorite high-action sports without the hassle of chasing the ball.

Max’s Courts are two mini-sized sports courts for little ones to enjoy
soccer, basketball or group play. There’s full-court basketball that may
also be transformed into a mini soccer pitch or volleyball court, plus table
tennis and foosball tables. A walking track rings Goofy’s Sports Deck.
